Excerpt from Syllabus of a Course of Lectures on Physiology, Vol. 2: Delivered at Guy"s Hospital
The following pages are the outlines of lectures given at Guy"s Hospital during the last ten years, with additions which each year has made necessary. The Diagrams and the Tables in the Appendix are also part of what have been used in the same Course.
In following the example of the late Dr. Alfred Swayne Taylor - one of the best lecturers I ever heard - at Guy"s, and of Dr. Burdon Sanderson at University College, I have endeavoured to make the syllabus useful to students, as a help in their systematic reading and self-examination; and also to those who have passed the earlier stages of studentship, in recalling the more important outlines of the "Institutes of Medicine." I have also, I trust successfully, endeavoured to make it useless to any one who may try, "for the purpose of examination," to substitute hasty and ill-digested reading for slowly and practically acquired knowledge.
In case any fellow-lecturer on Physiology should glance at these pages, I may perhaps add that increasing experience in teaching has led me to diminish every year the number of facts taught, and to spend more and more time in the fall explanation and repeated statement of those which are most essential.
Results of analysis, and other numerical statements, are best given in tables hung up to be copied. Most experiments are best performed by, or in presence of, a limited number of students in laboratory classes, such as I have held every summer session. But in every course of lectures on physiology there should find place some few fundamental experiments - such as demonstration of digestive processes, of Blood-pressure and the action of the Heart, of the nervous regulation of the Circulation and Respiration, and of the simpler functions of Muscle and Nerve.
